Cape Nicola Mole has been besieged by Christophe for , stixteen months; We, were in dpout. five weeks ago, - arid *they were then inliessession of the 'heights . on-one side of the town, not wore than h mile and a - half distant ; on theothet a deep ravine - prevented (heti-approach. .They almost every night tired shot, . and threw shells into the. town, but s none into the Mole„-where we l jy.

It is. said he is determined soon to take It by storm, if not surrender. • -On the 4th of May, an English ship, called the Crown, which had obtained a I:cense in-London, to trade in any port of the West Indies, was taken going - into the Mole with provisions for the besieged, a suf ficiency to last for 6 months. It seems s h e been at Port-au ! Proce to baiter some goods for the produce of the Mend. An American schooner came iii ; her cargo was purchased by stnna agent at that place, and shipped on board the Crown, to take round to the- Mole. • The Saracen brig conveyed her a :part.of toe way ; told her she wouid meet the Hyperion off the Mole, and /stood in , herself to Gonaives.. She- was detained by Christoplie's squadron who were ljing oft the Mole, and sent to (:ape Francois, for hav ing enemy's property on board. The ship, and the remaining part of ,the cargo will, I suppose,- be re. sierede -as the. 'ma',ter declares he knew nothing concerning the frei i ght la hl received' on 'board°, only to land' it tle Mole ; and that he told them 'at:Port-an-Prince, should he tall in with Christophe he would deliver up 'every paper, and it ,seems he wotild not have been detained, had it not been for a letter which : they had broke open, and it was found to contain true accounts of the property. We board ed and examined the ship a short time after, and found very just 6,01;6 of detention. - On this occasion the Vice-Admiral came on _ beard of us, with several of hiS Captains, and he certainly is a very handsome, gallant looking black.
